Dream recall and dream content in children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
Child psychiatry and human development April 1, 2010 Michael Schredl, Heiko Sartorius
Children with ADHD have more negatively toned dreams than children without ADHD, including more misfortunes, threats, negative endings, and physical aggression toward the dreamer. However, their dream recall frequency, dream length, and dream bizarreness are similar. The findings suggest that dreams reflect the inner world of children with ADHD, and the authors propose studying whether these negative dream patterns change with treatment.
